A. 
Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 54:4-1.2 et seq., there shall be an annual municipal service fee charged to each owner of a manufactured home installed in a mobile home park. The owner of the mobile home park shall collect 1/12 of the municipal service fee from each manufactured home owner on a monthly basis, due on the first day of each month. The Township Clerk shall collect and maintain records of the municipal service fees paid by the mobile home park owners. The municipal service fee shall be $15 per month, for a total of $180 per year for each, occupied site. The amount of $15 for every occupied site shall commence on May 1, 2009, and shall increase on a yearly basis. Said increase shall be based upon the percentage increase, if any, in the annual municipal budget. This increase shall not exceed 4% annually.

The mobile home park owner shall remit the municipal service fee, interest and penalty to the Township upon receipt of payment.

The owner of the mobile home park shall remit the municipal service fee quarterly to the Township Clerk on or before the 10th day of January, April, July and October. The mobile home park owner shall provide a list of manufactured home owners who have failed to pay the monthly municipal service fee.
